Chapter 12

It wasn't too long before there were other developments. But not all of them were pleasant. We right away found out there were other talents besides language skills and translation. We still don't know every talent or ability yet however.

And we suspected that many people weren't sharing information with people that didn't have abilities yet. Like we'd already seen Yuta didn't want to translate the heiroglyphics earlier until Raya came forward.

"So remind me again, why the hell does Kenji get to be the necromancer?" Yuta pouted. "Life is so unfair." He had his hands thrust in his pockets and was looking at his best friend with a lot of envy.

Kenji just shrugged, but he was eating up the attention. Also because he wasn't used to getting so much attention all at once it wasn't going well in how he managed it. It was like the years of bad or little attention were suddenly playing catch up and he wasn't ready for it with his level of maturity.

"I wanted to be a necromancer too," someone else said sadly. "In RPGs necromancers are always so bad ass you know? They can solo and so they don't have to share loot and XP! Especially once they have their own little graveyard army," he said to his friend.

"Oh, I guess you are right," his friend agreed.

"This isn't an RPG dumb ass. This is real," someone retorts.

"Seems like it would have a lot of complications though," someone said but they were ignored.

They continued to argue with each other. What else would you expect; they were undisciplined late year high schoolers.

"Dang! Why do other people always get a better life?! It should be my turn now!" someone cried out shaking their fist at ... presumably God?

"Is being a necromancer really that great though?" Yumi whispered to me while suspiciously narrowing her slits for eyes at Kenji.

I shrugged slightly so Kenji wouldn't see us whispering. "It's supposed to be a magic job right? At least in a lot of games it is, but...it has a lot of cons..." I shook my head and shrugged.

"Seems like it would have a lot of problems like you say," Yumi whispered again.

I nodded slyly. "And not all the jobs might be magic jobs is another possibility," I added.

They didn't like that idea. But it made sense. And people thought I was right.

"I know right? All we get is to be able to do some kind of language skill? My parents are expecting me to do something big with my life and they both have good jobs. If I'm not successful in life they will be really upset at me and give me hell at home," Raya shook her head sadly. She kicked a desk in frustration.

"That's assuming we can get back," someone else said.

"I guess it's not all bad. You guys got something before anyone," Yumi chirped.

"That's good. Stay positive Yumi," I said.

She frowned at me though for some reason. She can be uptight sometimes.
